In short, big NO.
If you play Tunisia, tell us how often you see anybody using motorcycle squad, from my experience they are a rare sight (not even talking about the premium one) and thatâs because motorcycle squads are utterly useless.
Only time you can use motorcycle squad somehow without instantly getting headshotted is to camp far from objective and just âsnipeâ enemies with your machine gun, aka being useless for the team.
One more thing, I would love to see you fast drive on Berlin streets, or even just finding any suitable position there to use your MG for more than 5s before you get killed.

in shot, BIG YES.
they are usefull when you know how use they.
for exemple. your team captured one position, it,s about time to spawn a scout squad (motorcicle), so you move has fast you can to harass the next position.
a scout squad is fast enough to get in position, but not strong enough to take it. that,s my moto.
also, whit a arty well fired in the next position will do alot of mayhem
If I remember correctly the devs said they would possibly tweak the levels of some campaigns so maybe add the motorcycle to the other campaigns but personally I think the best way for the motorcycle squad to become popular is by giving them the option also being able to equip a half-track.

i guess a half track is something diferent form a scout squad.
half-tracks should be mobily spawn point, AND very late in the campaign to acess.
still. scouts squads could be jeaps. not necessary motorcycles

I maxed out both motorcycle squads (1 per side) and only way to stay alive longer and do some damage was to stay way back, what I said earlier. Iâve had battles where I ended with over 80 kills and 0 deaths using motorcycle (1 MG soldier + 1 Radio operator), but whatâs the point when you need to camp far from objective to survive or if you come closer youâll die pretty fast. For me enemy motorcycle squads are just an easy targets, they can only kill me first time if I didnât expect them, but after that Iâll hunt them easily.
They should be, if it is historically accurate.
vehicles are usefull when fired from long range, no matter what vehicle is. if you see players that have experience in tank tactics you will rarely see then in ââmeleeââ.
and that,s the point you killed then in long range.
still. the most BASIC thing you must understant to lead a mechanized infantry is the out hot zone drop.
out hot zone drop IS, always dismount enough far from the enemy. if you drive to close and then dismount you troops you will get killed.
The bikes are great, I use them constantly in Tunis.
I was thinking, even possibly having some bikes in some maps. Like how there are planes on airfield, maybe some maps can have bikes dotted around, or tanks that you can get into. Again, as long as it is historically accurate. Maps with unique vehicles and unique objectives are cool.
That would be much better than a squad itself. I just canât imagine driving motorcycles on Berlin maps where even tanks struggle and on most maps there you wonât be able to shoot on any longer ranges using motorcycle.
still one last thing, those new assets could get in our hands in campaigs slots that only got a new weapow.
for exemple, a no premiun scout squad could be in level 23 of battle of moscow. toguether whit the Pzb 39.
To make them even more popular free players should be able to have a squad slot exclusive to the motorcycle or half-track squad cuz if not theyâre gonna be useless since f2p players are always the majority and the biker squad CANâT be a level 25 + unlock, they need to be somewhere around 10 to 20 cuz if not weâre never gonna see them
Iâd say they are totally useless in Berlin and Stalingrad but for Normandy and Moscow they might be pretty useful
But hey you can try them to see how they would perform in other campaigns while on custom battles that is if you have them unlocked in Tunisia
Mortices were an early war thing, and really only the Germans used them as a conveyance for Combat troops, that is infantry was âmountedâ on them, both on single machines, and on combinations, but they would almost always dismount and fight, think of them as steel horses.
All Armyâs used them though for liaison and communications work Throughout the war.
Mid war the Germans moved away from having combat units mounted on them, a 'Combination" was more expensive to manufacture than a KubelWagen.
The Allied combinations are pure fiction in game for Tunisa as a means of a combat vehicle.
Personally I really like the German one, but as noted above you need to get into a spot where you can stand off and engage with the MG, otherwise there death traps, and they are hard to drive.
I Like the pair of Soldiers, wish three could ride on the Normal German combination, I tricked them out with MP 40âs and use them to Assault with.
What? Why wouldnât they work in Moscow? I would love to see more content, especially content made in the future, integrated to work in this older campaign. It would keep campaigns alive. Theyâre finally doing shovels now, so itâs a step in the right direction.
Some of the Moscow maps are pretty small, especially with the progression gamemodes limiting the playable area. While it would be cool to see them integrated, their usefulness would be pretty limited.
well, i did tried to suggest to buff them:
but itâs up to devs and not me.
i think motorcycles squads can be useful.
but in the current state, not so much beside tunisia.
so yeah, just like @118302684 said, in other campaigns could work, but requires to the very least the ability to change the vehicle based on players preferences.

You die easy because for some reason AI have better aim when targeting people in vehicles, they wont miss especially if driving fast
